is a traditional Levantine arak — an anise-flavored distilled spirit that comes from the Eastern Mediterranean region, enjoyed across cultures from Lebanon and Syria to Jordan and Palestine. It’s crafted in the classic “Nazarene” style, meaning it’s made from a grape-based spirit infused with natural anise seed and carefully distilled to deliver a clean yet aromatic character rooted in tradition.

This arak is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), which makes it approachable yet expressive. When served with water, it undergoes the characteristic “louche” — turning from crystal clear to a silky, milky white as the essential oils from the anise emulsify. Aromas tend toward fresh anise, licorice, herbal and floral notes, and the palate is typically clean, bold on anise, and herbal, making it ideal for enjoying alongside mezze and Mediterranean dishes or for relaxed social sipping.
